Welcome to Acoustic Academic: Sonic Stories from Social Sciences, the podcast - actually, academic ASMR is more fitting for a genre description - that brings you the soothing sounds of intellectual exploration. Join Maria Murumaa-Mengel (PhD in media and communication), as we delve into social scientific research. After all: empirical studies are systematically presented stories in the end, so let me tell you stories about online shaming, influencers, digital activism, and so much more. Acoustic Academic is here to make academic literature accessible and enjoyable.
